POWER SUPPLY
Motor Specifications
The A-C motor used in this saw is a capacitor-start,
non-reversible type having the following specifications:
Voltage ................................... 120/240
Amperes ................................. 1I/5.5
Hertz (cycles) ................................. 60
Phase .................................. Single
RPM ......................................... 3450
Rotation asviewed from saw blade end .... Clockwise
CAUTION: Your saw is wired for 120V operation_
Connect to a t20V, 15-Amp, branch circuit and use a
15-Ampr time-delay fuse or circuit breaker, if the
motor is usedfor 240V operation, connect to a 15-amp.
branch circuit and use a tS-Ampo tlme-delay fuse or
circuit breaker_
This machine must be grounded while in use to protect
the operator from electric shock.,
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE THAT YOUR OUTLET iS
PROPERLY GROUNDED, HAVE IT CHECKED BY A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
WARNING: DO NOT PERMIT FINGERS TO TOUCH
THE TERMINALS OF PLUGS WHEN INSTALLING
OR REMOVING THE PLUG TO OR FROM THE
OUTLET,,
WARNING: IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED THIS
POWER TOOL CAN INCUR THE POTENTIAL
HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK,
PARTICULARLY WHEN USED tN DAMP
LOCATIONS tN PROXIMITY TO PLUMBING. IF AN
ELECTRICAL SHOCK OCCURS THERE IS THE
POTENTIAL OF A SECONDARY HAZARD SUCH AS
YOUR HANDS CONTACTING THE SAWBLADE_
IF POWER CORD IS WORN OR CUT, OR DAMAGED
IN ANY WAY, HAVE lT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
If your unit is for use on less than 150 votts it has a
plug that looks like below,

3-PRONG PLUG
G_I OUNOING PRONG
This power toot is equipped with a 3-conductor cord
and grounding type plug which has a grounding prong,
approved by Underwriters' Laboratories and the
Canadian Standards Association° The ground conductor
has a green jacket and is attached to the toot housing at
one end and to the ground prong in the attachment
plug at the other end,
This pSug requires a mating 3-conductor grounded type
outlet as shown,
If the outlet you are planning to use for this power tool
is of the two prong type DO NOT REMOVE OR
ALTER THE GROUNDING PRONG IN ANY
MANNER. Use an adapter as shown and always connect
the grounding lug to known ground.,
tt is recommended that you have a qualified electrician
replace the TWO prong outlet with e properly grounded
THREE prong outlet.
An adapter as shown below is available for connecting
plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The green grounding lug
extending from the adapter must be connected to a
permanent ground such as to a properly grounded
outlet box.

ELECTR ICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: CHANGES IN ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS SHOULD BE MADE BY A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
1. Changing Motor Connections
a. Under normal home workshop usage, and if proper
(full) voltage is supplied to the motor, your saw will
operate efficiently on 120V, as connected at the
factory. However, if any of the following conditions
exists, it will be advisable for you to reconnect the
motor for 240V operation - to obtain the
efficiency and performance for which your saw is
designed:
(1) Heavy-duty operations.
(2) Either an undersized or an overloaded branch
circuit serving the saw motor.
(3) Low voitage supplied by the power source,
which the power company cannot correct.
bo Motor wiring connections for 120V (as made at tile
factory) are described below. Necessary
reconnections for 240V operation are also described
foflowing. Whenever changing connections from
120V to 240V or vice-versa, make certain that all
necessary steps (including proper fusing of the
branch circuit) are completed,
2_ Connections for 120V A.Co
a. Remove namepiate cover from motor to expose
terminal board.
b,. The wires inside of the motor must be connected as
shown:
